I was reminded today, quite rudely, that not everyone in the world – or in Sidney – is willing to be part of a polite conversation. A fellow blogger wrote a post about the unsigned pamphlets being distributed in our community. She wrote "Recalling Bob Van Vleet because of an anonymous letter should have each and every sitting councilman / future concilman (sic) concerned."
I posted a comment that pointed out it was Mr. Van Vleet's "Letter to the Editor" that instigated the mention of recall at Tuesday's council meeting, and that it was the councilman himself who brought it up.
The responses to my post would not have made it onto any Web site with a filter for adult language and content, and were downright disturbing for the personal attacks they included.

I should have known, it being Friday the 13th, that something was going to happen. And then I read my horoscope :
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You have a loyal friend and supporter. And when you rush in naively, trusting the world to behave by your code of ethics, this person will watch your back and stand guard over your heart.
I found out I have many good friends and supporters who are standing guard over my heart and watching my back.

I want to say thank you to each of them, it means great deal.
